@yari I like it! That would be a cool option to add into Core

In typical me fashion, I upgraded right away. Per best practices of most changes per window, I installed the 8.x node release and broke npm

After a reinstall of node and npm, all was well in the world.

@priapo said in Issue with Admin Panel since upgrade to 1.4.2:

@teh_g Very good, that's why I always say, post your config files removing sensitive data. We would have helped you resolving this simple issue of removing the slash better.

I just grabbed that right from the documentation. It might be worth fixing the documentation.

@michael-pfaff said in DigitalOcean droplets got a resize:

I stuck with same pricing for double the resources. Incredible.

I didn't think the upgrade would make a difference (1 GB of memory to 2 GB), but I have seen a decrease in 503 errors, and the forums load much faster when going between pages. Totally worth it.

With Skinpocalypse happening, I had to move to another theme that had a dark skin, so I moved over here. Glad this is still being made, it is a nicely done theme!

@julian said in Drop Redis/Improve MongoDB/Support SQL?:

But that said, yes, a forum is a good use case for a relational database, though we wanted to try something new with a NoSQL solution. Redis worked well and still does, though there are areas or improvement to be made in MongoDB, and most involve dropping Redis support at some point down the line.

Dropping redis will make me sad since I setup my forum with the redis recommendation from the documentation

You'll have to publicize the secret sauce you use to convert from redis to Mongo.

@jimmyc2018 said in Issue naming the root of NodeBB install:

@pitaj I did, I could see it live at http://myipaddress:4567

Is your domain set to resolve to that IP address?

Your nginx config also looks like it is missing a lot. The documentation has a lot of info. A full example block with all the recommendations lives here: https://docs.nodebb.org/configuring/scaling/ but at a minimum you should follow the guide on this page: https://docs.nodebb.org/configuring/proxies/nginx/

https://blog.digitalocean.com/new-droplet-plans/

This is a nice update to their droplets. I've been running the old $10 plan with 1 GB of RAM and 1 CPU core. Now I can't decide if I want to keep the same price and get double RAM, or lower down to $5 and keep the same box...

Not sure if referral links are kosher here, but if you want to try out DigitalOcean, this link gets you $10: https://m.do.co/c/3a45a3f20cb5

I spy with my little eyes...

Glad this popped up as a new post. This plugins looks awesome...

I love the new theme! My forum users are all about dark themes though, so I will have to bide my time for bootswatch support

Mine isn't nearly as pretty yet, since we just got it off the ground, but I am running a small gaming community site at https://thesaltypotatoes.com

HUGE shoutout to the NodeBB team. I am hosting my forum via their service, and they helped do some awesome configuration after I set it up. Their support has been amazing so far!

@xidui said in Is there some suggested user scale or machine type for noddbb?:

We have more than 100k users and more than 400k contents(mongodump make about 1G size of directory).
Initially we use 1G memory machine, we find that 503 error always come. Then we upgrade the machine to 2G, some error still comes. We now have upgraded it to 4G.

I wonder that is there a suggested machine for our scale? Where is community.nodebb.org hosted?

Totally, we find the response speed is too slow for some pages of noddbb. We are not satisfied about it.

Take a look here.

I won't answer your question fully. I can say with about 50 users I was very quickly hitting 503 errors and I had to move to 1G of memory. I had some discussion with others in this thread:

503 - temporarily unavailable due to excessive load

I know there was some discussion a few months back in this thread: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/6957/toobusy-excessive-load, but I wanted to see what a...

NodeBB Community (community.nodebb.org)

Is this the expanding plugin being used on these forums?

Trying to figure out which one I want to have my end users experience

@teh_g said in Introducing the build system in v1.4.x:

Only change I made from what was in the documentation is instead of specifying the io_nodes section, I just used the server 127.0.0.1:4567 since I do not have a cluster.

Yep, that should work fine as well.

I may swap it over to use two processes since my DigitalOcean host has two CPUs...

I will make the swap of the nginx config later today and let you know how it goes!

We sure have come a long way!

@JasperNL said in Hosting information?:

Woa! I didn't know the prices for managed hosting were so high

It is the price for not having to worry about anything. You need to think of the cost of the solution versus the time saved by not having to manage it.

@Jenkler I flipped the switch on my forums and it seems to be working, https://gamingexodus.com/. I am pleased with an easy method over making config changes...

This would be pretty cool. Similar to something like ZenDesk where you can link to other tickets. Or GitHub where it automagically links to the issue.

@XenTerSeO said:

The ability to create discussions, which may participate only members of the group.

You can create a category on your forums and disallow certain groups. This is from the 0.7.x dev release, but I believe the 0.6.x functionality was similar with a different UI:

Edit:
I think one "problem" with this is that an admin is required to make these. Having a small discussion or even a chat room per group could be a cool feature.
